“Minnesota is a state of public-spirited and polite people, where you can get a good cappucino and eat Thai food and find any book you want and yet live on a quiet tree-lined street with a backyard and send your kids to public school. When a state this good hits the jackpot, it can only be an inspiration to everybody.” PeopleWantBookStatesInspirationKidsSchoolTreeStreetsQuietPolitePublic SchoolBackyardsSpiritedMinnesotaThaiJackpotThai Food Author:Garrison Keillor
